About this book
'Unbelievable' Ian Hislop
'A tour de force' Jeremy Vine
'Excellent' Julia Ebner, Telegraph MY NAME IS MARIANNA SPRING AND SOME OF MY TROLLS SAY THEY WANT TO KILL ME Ever since she became the BBC's first disinformation and social media correspondent, Marianna Spring has delved into the worlds of media manipulators and conspiracy theorists. Meeting face-to-face with architects of hate and fake news, she discovers how people come to believe that terrible atrocities are staged, and that pandemics and climate change are the tools of an invisible elite bent on world domination. Told with curiosity, urgency and, most of all, empathy, Conspiracyland pulls back the curtain on the information battle threatening us all, and bears witness to the real-world consequences that lie beyond our screens. ' A crucial read for understanding the intricate web of misinformation that influences our modern world' Eliot Higgins, author of We Are Bellingcat
